The long vowel /u-e/ and /ue/ proved to be more difficult than the long /a/ and long/i/ sounds. We investigate the word families associated with long/u/ and the children discovered that the sound says the name of the letter 'u' but actually reading some long /u/ words can be a bit tricky. Take the word 'sure' for example! We will continue working on this sound and the spelling of words next week. Our story writing activity is almost completed.Wait until you read our story 'Waves'.We have 6 different versions! We are focusing on sight words associated with our upcoming field trip to the farm!
